just got new rims.15" MUGEN RG's...J...D...M

[mark_jdm]

ey guys.got new rims last month.got tired of the rota gt3's..though i liked the look of the gold face/polished lip. but hey, they're knock-offs..soooo...errrrr. anyway, bought a set of mugen RGs, 15x6.5. theyre pretty light too, 10.5 lbs each. the 16s are easier to find nowadays, so these are kinda rare. they've got a weak offset though..+45..not too fond of that.they give the car a cleaner look. i'm trying to get everything "mugen-ized". hard to find parts..so its taking a while.oh, btw, the lip and rear skirts are mugen replicas.cant find originals..DAMN IT..so i gotta settle for less. i also recently installed my dc2 midpipe, modded to fit..(no cat). the exhaust is f**kin loud now.tolerable though..for me at least.if i was in the states, i dont think it would pass your noise level regulations.anyway, let me know what u guys think!!








teamed this little badge thing up with my mugen shift knob/shift boot combo.



this is me and my bro gettin some s**t done at one of his sponsor's. his EK is a circuit car, which explains all the flashy graphics.... for all of you who were about to comment on the shitty ricer stickers.haha.he's doin a touring car series here in the philippines. anyway, enjoy!













i also got my interior reupholstered recently.sidings and rear seat done in black recaro fabric. rear seats are red stiched ala type R style. had to reupholster coz my car came with ugly ass fabric. really tacky pattern.the 99 models here had better stock upholstery

not bad at all.

For some reason...your wheels look a bit off..I don't know what it is...

IMO the worst wheel mugen had to offer... The circuit car looks kinda cool though.

american racing wheels? geez, that doesnt sound too good.haha. thanks for the comments anyway.
nobody here's a big fan of these rims i guess. just got tired of rolling on rota's, so i opted for something authentic...aquired taste i guess...like JDM sashimi

hmmm...makes the car look TOO simple? is that it? too plain or somethin? i like mugen RNR's better..but rota made a copy, and those are really played out here. so i decided to get these instead.

Both cars look good ! Mugen - I like !

 

[Ltrain]

that circuit car needs a dohc! your car looks clean

 

[thisisoriginal]

THATS WHY

I thought they were the RNR's...but...not quite...

Now I understand.

Keep up the good work bro..!

[EK|B]

Adding to the JDM flavor.

 

[el_betiyo]

I like it, looks good, future plans?
also, do you have any vids of your bro's car on the track?

 

[daboyu978]

wheels looks ugly, other than that everything else is kool

 

[jonats2k]

Oh the Passion Orange color. Makes me jealous everytime I see it. If only I knew what the corresponding color code is out here...

i'm sure he'd love a DOHC in there..but he's in group C.lot of regulations in that class, one rule being NO DOHCs ALLOWED. boooo!! there's a higher class though, but thats another story. the car is pretty fast though, and nimble. lotta weight reduction was done.

I like it, looks good, future plans?

i'm gonna install my spoon head gasket soon.also, a front and rear camber kit too.the parts are still in their boxes for now..drooool..can't wait! plan to get some b16b internals - cams, pistons maybe. and adjustable cam gears after that i guess..then a'pex VAFC perhaps. sorry bro, no vids as of now.the season hasnt started yet. i'll post some pics and vids on a new thread SOON!
